Creators and inventors
before our time
Could they have had an inkling
of what’s to come?
To understand our future
is to know our history
That’s what I tell the children
when they sigh in boredom
All the Haikus in the world
The undiscovered
scribbled poetry
Every painting made famous
long after the painter
left this realm
Can one word
one stroke
one snapshot
one chord
change the world?
The question as ridiculous
as toy glass
But we must continue to ask it
Don’t put away the pen
The world’s heart cannot survive without
it.
